High-Efficiency Charger for Li-Ion Batteries with Photovoltaic Sources
Features
Brief Description

The ZSPM4521 is a DC/DC synchronous switching
lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery charger with fully integrated power switches, internal compensation, and
full fault protection. It uses a temperature-independent photovoltaic maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) function to optimize power output from the
source during Full-Charge Constant-Current (CC)
Mode. Its switching frequency of 1MHz enables the
use of small filter components, resulting in smaller
board space and reduced bill-of material costs.






During Full-Charge Constant-Current Mode, the duty
cycle is controlled by the MPPT regulator. Once the
battery’s termination voltage is reached, the regulator operates in Constant Voltage Mode. In this mode,
the ZSPM4521 modulates the charging current until
the battery reaches full charge. When the regulator
is disabled (the EN pin is low), the device draws
10µA (typical) quiescent current (Disabled Mode).

ZSPM4521
High-Efficiency Charger for Li-Ion Batteries with Photovoltaic Sources
2
Functional Description
The ZSPM4521 is a fully-integrated Li-Ion battery charger IC based on a highly-efficient switching topology. It
includes a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) function to optimize its input voltage in order to extract the
maximum possible power from photovoltaic (PV) cells. It is configurable for termination voltage, charge current,
and additional variables to allow optimum charging conditions for a wide range of Li-Ion batteries. A 1MHz internal
switching frequency facilitates low-cost LC filter combinations. Figure 2.1 provides a block diagram.
When the battery voltage is below 3.0V, the ZSPM4521 enters a pre-charge state and applies a small,
programmable charge current to safely charge the battery to a level for which full-charge current can be applied.
Once the Full-Charge Mode has been initiated, the ZSPM4521 will maximize available charge current to the
battery by adjusting its duty cycle to regulate its input voltage to the MPP voltage of the photovoltaic (PV) cell. If
sufficient current is available from the PV cell to exceed the safe 1C charge rate of the battery, then the programmable 1C current limit function will take precedence over the MPPT control function and the PV cell voltage will
rise above the MPP value.

ZSPM4521
High-Efficiency Charger for Li-Ion Batteries with Photovoltaic Sources
When the battery voltage has increased enough to go into maintenance mode, the PWM control loop will force a
constant voltage across the battery. Once in Constant Voltage Mode, current is monitored to determine when the
battery is fully charged. See Figure 2.2 for a diagram of the charging states.
The regulation voltage as well as the 1C charging current can be set to change based on the battery temperature.
There are four temperature ranges for which the regulation voltage can be set independently: 0°C to 10°C, 10°C
to 45°C, 45°C to 50°C, and 50°C to 60°C. The ZSPM4521 will stop charging if the temperature passes the
descending temperature threshold at 0°C or the ascending threshold at 60°C. These thresholds have 10 degrees
of hysteresis. The intermediate points have 1 degree of hysteresis.
2.1.
2.1.1.
Internal Protection
VIN Under-Voltage Lockout
The device is held in the off state until the EN pin voltage is HIGH ( 2.2V) and VIN reaches 3.15V (typical). There
is a 200mV hysteresis on this input, which requires the input to fall below 2.95V (typical) before the device will
disable.
2.1.2.
Internal Current Limit
The current through the inductor LOUT is sensed on a cycle-by-cycle basis and if the current limit (IOCD; see section 1.4) is reached, the ZSPM4521 will abbreviate the cycle. The current limit is always active when the regulator
is enabled.
2.1.3.
Thermal Shutdown
If the junction temperature of the ZSPM4521 exceeds 170°C (typical), the SW output will tri-state to protect the
device from damage. The NFLT and all other protection circuitry will stay active to inform the system of the failure
mode. Once the device cools to 160°C (typical), the device will attempt to start up again. If the device reaches
170°C, the shutdown/restart sequence will repeat.
2.1.4.
VBAT Over-Voltage Protection
The ZSPM4521 has a battery protection circuit designed to shut down the charging profile if the battery voltage is
greater than the termination voltage. The termination voltage can change based on user programming, so the
protection threshold is set to 2% above the termination voltage. Shutting down the charging profile puts the
ZSPM4521 in a fault condition.

2.2.1.
Fault Handling
NFLT Pin Functionality
In the event of a battery over-voltage, the battery temperature being outside of the safe charging range, or the full
charge timer expiring, charging stops and the NFLT pin is pulled low. When the fault condition is no longer
present, the device will enter the INITIALIZE state (see Figure 2.2), but the NFLT pin will remain low until the
STATUS register (00HEX) is read (see Table 2.2). When the STATUS register is read, the NFLT pin will go high
until a new fault is detected.
2.2.2.
Other Faults
When an open thermistor, thermal shutdown, VIN under-voltage, or top-off time-out are detected, charging
immediately stops and the corresponding bit in the STATUS register (00HEX) is set. The device will enter the
INITIALIZE state until the fault is no longer detected.

Serial Interface
2
The ZSPM4521 features an I C™ slave interface that offers advanced control and diagnostic features. It supports
2
standard and fast mode data rates and auto-sequencing, and it is compliant to I C™ standard version 3.0.
2
I C™ operation offers configuration control for termination voltages, charge currents, and charge timeouts. This
2
configurability allows optimum charging conditions in a wide range of Li-Ion batteries. I C™ operation also offers
fault and warning indicators. Whenever a fault is detected, the associated status bit in the STATUS register is set
and the NFLT pin is pulled low. Whenever a warning is detected, the associated status bit in the STATUS register
is set, but the NFLT pin is not pulled low. Reading the STATUS register resets the fault and warning status bits,
and the NFLT pin is released after all fault status bits have been reset.

I C™ Bus Operation
2
The ZSPM4521’s I C™ is a two-wire serial interface; the two lines are serial clock (SCL) and serial data (SDA)
(see Figure 2.4). SDA must be connected to a positive supply (e.g., the VDD pin) through an external pull-up
resistor. The devices communicating on this bus can drive the SDA line low or release it to high impedance. To
2
ensure proper operation, setup and hold times must be met (see Table 1.5). The device that initiates the I C™
transaction becomes the master of the bus.
Communication is initiated by the master sending a START condition, which is a high-to-low transition on SDA
while the SCL line is high. After the START condition, the device address byte is sent, most significant bit (MSB)
first, including the data direction bit (read = 1; write = 0). After receiving the valid address byte, the device
responds with an acknowledge (ACK). An ACK is a low on SDA during the high of the ACK-related clock pulse.
2
On the I C™ bus, during each clock pulse, only one data bit is transferred. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the high pulse of the clock period, as changes in the data line at this time are interpreted as START
or STOP control conditions. A low-to-high transition on SDA while the SCL input is high indicates a STOP
condition and is sent by the master.

ZSPM4521
High-Efficiency Charger for Li-Ion Batteries with Photovoltaic Sources
Any number of data bytes can be transferred from the transmitter to receiver between the START and the STOP
conditions. Each byte of eight bits is followed by one ACK bit from the receiver. The SDA line must be released by
the transmitter before the receiver can send an ACK bit. The receiver that acknowledges must pull down the SDA
line during the ACK clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable low during the high pulse of the ACK-related clock
period. When a slave receiver is addressed, it must generate an ACK after each byte is received. Similarly, the
master must generate an ACK after each byte that it receives from the slave transmitter. An end of data is
signaled by the master receiver to the slave transmitter by not generating an acknowledge after the last byte has
been clocked out of the slave. This is done by the master receiver by holding the SDA line high. The transmitter
must then release the data line to enable the master to generate a STOP condition.

Selection of External Components
Note that the internal compensation is optimized for a 4.7µF output capacitor (COUT) and a 4.7µH output inductor
(LOUT). Table 1.3 provides recommended ranges for most of the following components.
3.2.1.
COUT Output Capacitor
To keep the output ripple low, a low ESR (less than 35mΩ) ceramic capacitor is recommended for the 4.7µF
output filter capacitor. The ESR should not exceed 100mΩ.
3.2.2.
LOUT Output Inductor
For best performance, an inductor with a saturation current rating higher than the maximum V OUT load requirement
plus the inductor current ripple should be used for the 4.7µH output filter inductor.
3.2.3.
CIN Bypass Capacitor for Input from Photovoltaic Source
For best performance, a low ESR ceramic capacitor should be used for the 10µF input supply bypass capacitor. If
it is not a low ESR ceramic capacitor, a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor should be added in parallel to CIN.

CVDD Bypass Capacitor for VDD Internal Reference Voltage Output
For best performance, a low ESR ceramic capacitor should be used for the100nF bypass capacitor from the VDD
pin to ground.
3.2.5.
RSENSE Output Sensing Resistor
The typical value for the output sensing resistor is 50mΩ.
3.2.6.
Pull-up Resistors
2
For proper function of the I C™ interface, the SDA pin must be connected to a positive supply (e.g., the VDD pin)
through an external pull-up resistor.
For proper function of the fault-warning signal on the NFLT pin, it must be connected to a positive supply (VDD)
through an external pull-up resistor.

Layout Recommendations
To maximize the efficiency of this package for application on a single layer or multi-layer PCB, certain guidelines
must be followed when laying out this part on the PCB.
5.1.
Multi-Layer PCB Layout
The following are guidelines for mounting the exposed pad ZSPM4521 on a multi-layer PCB with ground a plane.
In a multi-layer board application, the thermal vias are the primary method of heat transfer from the package
thermal pad to the internal ground plane. The efficiency of this method depends on several factors, including die
area, number of thermal vias, and thickness of copper, etc.

Figure 5.3 is a representation of how the heat can be conducted away from the die using an exposed pad
package. Each application will have different requirements and limitations, and therefore the user should use
sufficient copper to dissipate the power in the system. The output current rating for the linear regulators might
need to be de-rated for higher ambient temperatures. The de-rated value will depend on calculated worst-case
power dissipation and the thermal management implementation in the application.

5.2.
Single-Layer PCB Layout
Layout recommendations for a single-layer PCB: Utilize as much copper area for power management as possible.
In a single-layer board application, the thermal pad is attached to a heat spreader (copper areas) by using a low
thermal impedance attachment method (solder paste or thermal conductive epoxy).
In both of the methods mentioned above, it is advisable to use as much copper trace as possible to dissipate the
heat.
